"These results mark a significant milestone for our students, their families, and the primary schools they represent, all of whom have provided unwavering support during their time at Abbey Community College and have been essential contributors to our thriving school community," she said.
"We would like to thank all the staff of Abbey Community College, teaching and non-teaching for their dedication and support to the class of 2024.
"An advantage of our large school is the ability to offer an extensive range of subjects for our students in senior cycle. This diverse selection enables our students to pursue university and college courses, as well as enter trades and transition directly into the workforce.
"An exceptional group of students consistently excels beyond the national academic averages. This year, we are proud to have many students who achieved scores exceeding 600 points in their Leaving Certificate, along with a significant rise in the percentage of students scoring over 500 points.
"Additionally, our Leaving Certificate Applied results are at the highest end of the national range. We extend our best wishes to all our students as they eagerly await their CAO offers."
Principal Jefford further noted that the school's support team and guidance counsellors have been in constant contact with the students and that they 'will be there supporting them throughout the whole CAO process and beyond if necessary'.
